Hypothalamo−Pituitary Insufficiency Associated with Ectrodactyly−Ectodermal Dysplasia−Clefting Syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ectrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia-clefting (EEC) syndrome is characterized by ectodermal dysplasia, ectrodactyly and facial clefting with multiple congenital anomalies such as urinary tract anomaly, lacrimal duct obstruction, and hearing loss. This syndrome is a rare disease transmitted by autosomal dominant inheritance with variable penetrance. Clinical expression is variable. In EEC syndrome with midline defect hypothalamo-pituitary endocrinopathy is expected, however hormonal disorders in EEC syndrome have rarely been reported. We present two patients with EEC syndrome associated with hypothalamo-pituitary insufficiency.

Objectives: Ectrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia-clefting syndrome (EEC) is a rare syndrome with features of ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia and cleft lip/palate. This study presents an Iranian case with classic features and oral complications. Case: We report a 20-year old female with all manifestations of this syndrome. The simultaneous presence of these three malformations is extremely r...
متن کاملEctrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia-clefting (EEC) syndrome: dominant inheritance and variable expression.
An infant is reported with a complete form of the ectrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia clefting (EEC) syndrome, inherited from his mother, who has a partial expression of the condition, without clefting. This observation stresses the phenotypic variability of the EEC syndrome, which in most cases is inherited as an autosomal dominant with reduced penetrance.
متن کاملEctrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia-clefting (EEC) syndrome.
The Ectrodactyly-Ectodermal Dysplasia-Clefting syndrome is also known as the EEC syndrome. The word ectrodactyly is derived from the Greek, and means congenital absence of all or part of a finger or toe. While both hands and both feet are usually involved, exceptions have been noted in that one hand may be normal and, rarely, all extremities are normal. Tear ducts are abnormal in most affected ...
متن کاملHartsfield holoprosencephaly-ectrodactyly syndrome in five male patients: further delineation and review.
We report on five male subjects with a triad of signs compatible with Hartsfield syndrome: ectrodactyly, holoprosencephaly, and mental retardation. Only six patients with this distinctive association have been reported over the past 20 years, all of them being males. Of the patients described here, some have unreported findings such as vermian hypoplasia in one and prolonged survival into adult...
